Possible Record Tieing Night

In the course of the past 4 Wins it is nice to see the devils powerplay finally working. Also as I've been saying for awhile a huge help in the devils streak is their team play as well as the offensive numbers being put up by their defense. Currently the devils have the best defense in the NHL. It shows. They are doing a lot right. The only thing I would like to see is the team play a full 60 Minutes.

Imagine what this team is capable of. The New Jersey Devils take the ice against the Philadelphia Flyers in Philly for their potential 10th road win to start this season. The devils need to keep the pressure at the blue line. The extra time spent in the offensive zone has let to many apposing team penalties. A huge thing to look for tonight is the first goal. Devils on the road have scored many of the first goals, which has led to their victories.

Good Luck in Philly!

On a Roll

This team finds ways of winning. Its been awhile, just been really busy. But the team has been playing really well together, even with the injuries. With a lot of young guys working hard it drives the veterans to work harder as well. Especially last year with Brodeurs Injury you saw lots of players stepping it up to fill gaps. Once again that is happening and the team's drive to win is there.

The key to their success lies in the involvement with their defense contributing to their offense. The last two games defensemen have scored; Murphy against the Islanders and Greenes game winning goal against the Senators. The defense has done a nice job with pinching at the blueline to keep pucks in the offensive zone. Against Ottawa, Mottau stepped up which made that shift really tired. The extra efforts frustrates teams and leads to penatlies. Against the Senators it wound up being the game changer.

Looking foward to seeing the brothers face each other this Wednesday night.
